Congratulations, it's quite unreadable isn't it?
MP's in Parliament however pretended to understand it and gave Gordon Brown the go ahead to sign it on your behalf. |

Gordon Brown was given instructions to sign it by Parliamentary consent.
The people were led up the garden path with talks of a referendum on it. ALL three major Party's at the time suggested there should be a referendum on the Treaty. Even the BBC seemed opposed to the unreadability of it. But another yardstick is readability. While the constitution was intended to be a reader-friendly document that could be taught in schools, the Reform Treaty is going to reel off a new mass of revisions to two already unreadable treaties. Traditionally, unreadable EU treaties have not been subjected to a referendum, except in Ireland - though France and Denmark made an exception for the Maastricht treaty. This one seems set to be even more clumsy than usual with its protocols, declarations and footnotes. "They decided that the document should be unreadable. If it is unreadable, it is not constitutional, that was the sort of perception," former Italian Foreign Minister Giuliano Amato told a conference in London this month. "Any prime minister - imagine the UK prime minister - can go to the Commons and say, 'Look, you see, it's absolutely unreadable, it's the typical Brussels treaty, nothing new, no need for a referendum.'" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6907478.stm This is why Farage and other Eurosceptics campaigned so rigorously for the EU referendum. |
